What Assurances Zelenskyy Demanded From JD Vance At Pre-Negotiation Talks On Ending War With Russia – wna24

Munich: Volodymyr Zelenskyy put demands before JD Vance as he sat for a pre-negotiation meeting with US Vice President on ending war with Russia, during a security dialogue in Munich, Germany. Zelenskyy told Vance that his country wants “security guarantees” before any talks to end the Russia-Ukraine war.

Putting his demands strait before US Vice President at Munich Security Conference, Zelenskyy informed JD Vance that he would only agree to sit down with President Putin for negotiations after a common plan is negotiated with President Trump.

Security and political strategists view that Vance meeting with Zelenskyy would certainly put light on what are going to be Trump’s ideas to make the negotiation talks successful.

Throwing some light on whether Trump administration would penalise Russia if it becomes a hurdle for negotiations, Vance said, “US would hit Moscow with sanctions and potentially military action if Putin won’t agree to a peace deal with Ukraine that guarantees Kyiv’s long-term independence.”

However, Vance threat of military action against Putin under Trump administration doesn’t sound as threatening and especially at a time when the US President is so keen to end the three-year-old war.  

Any military action from the United States will certainly provoke an equal if not a bigger reaction from Putin, which could turn the scenario for the worst.  

Earlier on the day when Trump launched his peace talks to end the war, Zelenskyy expressed he was not happy that the US President spoke to Putin first adding he will not allow everything to happen according to Putin’s plans.
